Collection: Domaine Belleville

Born in Rully at the beginning of the 20th Century, Domaine Belleville operates 18 hectares of vineyards located from Gevrey Chambertin to Mercurey, in organic conversion since the end of 2017.

Its wines are made in the strict respect of its parcellaire, each wine coming from a single plot of estate to highlight the diversity of the terroirs.

For over one hundred years in Burgundy, the Belleville Domaine vineyards have upheld its reputation as having the most history-laden Climats in Rully. The "Les Cloux" and "Rabourcé" climats are the site of the original village, as the presence of Gallo-Roman remains testify. The medieval history of Rully and Mercurey also confirm the long-standing presence of the Domaine Belleville vineyards, most notably the "La Pucelle", "Le Chapitre" and the "Clos L'Evèque" Climats.

The vineyards in Rully represent the vast majority of the Domaine's vineyards and are planted with 8.25 ha of Chardonnay and 2.25 ha of Pinot noir. The Belleville domaine has 5 white premiers crus here, La Pucelle, les Cloux, Rabourcé, la Fosse and Chapitre and 1 red premier cru, Chapitre, representing more than 4 ha in total, with the village appellation climats representing less than 6.5 ha. The village of Rully is particularly well-known for its remarkable limestone terroir, which has sufficient marl and clay for the chardonnay grape to have found its terroir of choice.

The white wines that are produced here easily rival those produced at close-by Côte de Beaune. They are ample and smooth with good consistency and noble texture, similar to those of Mersault. The well-known Cloux and Rabourcé climats give rise to supple, ample wines, with excellent consistency and an exquisite texture, whilst the similarly well-known Pucelle climat produces a white wine that stands out as a result of its more apparent minerality and its full, lasting flavour. The red wines are tender and fruity with a marked liveliness and exquisite minerality.

The vines in Mercurey represent the second cluster of the Domaine's vineyards and 1 ha is planted with Chardonnay and 4.5 ha with Pinot noir. The Domaine Belleville has 1 red premier cru here, the well-known Clos l'Evèque extending over 65 ares, with village appellation climats representing less than 5 ha. The terroir of the village of Mercurey enjoys exceptional geological diversity, which creates extensive variety in the wines produced there. The red wines, which are predominant, produced on stony soil resulting from layers of hard limestone are highly sought after for their complexity and ability to age well.
